Abstract: The durability of older reinforced concrete structures is significantly affected by corrosion of the steel reinforcing bars, and assessing the seismic capacity of such corroded RC structures is a challenging task. A ...

Abstract: An analytical model is proposed to predict the stress–strain relationship of confined concrete subjected to reinforcement corrosion. The stress–strain graph of confined concrete with corroded reinforcement was predicted ...

Abstract: The popularity of artificially accelerated methodologies for inducing corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) elements has increased exponentially over recent decades due to their ability to achieve broad damage spectra ...

Abstract: Construction of habitats and infrastructure on Mars will require the extensive use of in situ materials. Regolith, which covers the planet’s surface, can be used to produce a Martian concrete but this requires the development ...

Abstract: Postyield steel–concrete bond has been the subject of considerable investigations using pull-out or direct tensile tests; however, the degradation in bond due to reinforcement yielding in RC beams subjected to lateral ...
